Pros: I learned about the German language more, and another Holocaust scenario.

Cons: Very graphic and disturbing
The Holocaust has inspired many filmed accounts, from "Schindler's List", to "The Pianist", to "The Long Way Home". But few have tackled the unique angle that Agnieska Holland did with "Europa, Europa". EE tells the extraordinary true story of Salomon ...

Pros: An Important Foreign Film under German Name "Hitlerjunge Salomon"
Cons: Very difficult to see and accept as truth.
This movie is based on the true story of Salomon Perel, making it even more difficult to see. I saw it in German in an uncut version. The film was highly recommended and given to me, not realizing that it could create a very traumatic reaction. I see...
